Ovon Design Pte Ltd - 53 Joo Chiat Pl

If you want a taste of being your own ID despite hiring one, questionably outdated/ poor quality workmanship, headache and possibly episodes of heart attacks of being a part time ID because your own ID is not on top of the site job and having to terminate the contract months after a protracted renovation period with hiccups, minimal work progression and unmet expectations then engage them.

During the rounds of ID selection, Zi An impressed us with her responsiveness and space planning that was out of the box compared to the other meetings. In addition to the competitive pricing of the individual quoted items, we found Ovon to be a suitable ID firm to renovate our home. The main issue we had with our resale flat we had was the small kitchen. With the exposed piping, and catering allowance for a service yard, we were looking into creative solutions that could take advantage of the spacious living room to solve our kitchen issue. We decided upon an open concept kitchen to give the kitchen space a light and airy feel, and opted for a front load washer to maximise the countertop space. The kitchen flooring was also raised for us to be able to place our fridge and dining table between the kitchen and living room. The exposed piping was concealed and carpentry was built around it to increase storage. A lot of attention was put into the kitchen and we appreciated the feedbacks from Zi An and Leon guiding us with the layout, colours, materials, and overall design. It has come a long way from our original concept sketches to the place we make gastronomical wonders. But with every reno journey, there are bound to have a couple of hiccups along the way and Zi An, Leon, and especially Annie, played a great deal in helping overcome these issues. With covid delaying several services and delivery, we still managed to keep things mostly to schedule with Annie’s flexibility and coordination. This was especially crucial as we were expecting our child around the same period and we tied in the completion date to my child’s birth day. With the successful handover, we were able to move in exactly one month after our confinement month ended, while allowing the place to air out. We had a few unusual ideas and requests, with our cove lightings, bathtubs, extension of MBR toilet, and vintage window grilles. We were impressed that our ideas were never dismissed and instead was encouraged. Our experience during our inital ID search showed that some designers didn’t share our enthusiasm so we were glad to be able to find a team that can work well together to bring our vision to life. Certain items could just be left to the designers’ discretion and it would fit in perfectly with the aesthetics of the home when we came back to check on the progress. Overall, we had a pleasant experience that we felt was value for money, worked well within our budget, we are pleased with the final results, and the responsive aftersales service. We are to proud to have our home featured in their portfolio. Thank you Zi an, Annie, Leon!

We wanted to have something practical and able to last us for more than 7 years for our first house. After speaking to various IDs, we decided to engage Ovon Design for the renovation work. We would like to thank Ovon Design for the excellent renovation work done for the house and the effort that they put in for the design and smooth communication with us. Overall the whole process was a positive and good experience for us. Firstly, Leon for giving us lots of ideas during our very first appointment with Ovon Design. He is very experienced and able to answer all our queries and concerns as a first time home owner and able to advise us on the practicability and feasibility of our initial idea. Secondly, Gary for being very prompt to our queries and questions. One of our concern was the timeline due to this covid situation. Gary followed very closely with the various contractors and tried his best to ensure the renovation works were completed in the stipulated timeline so that we can move in as soon as possible. After staying in the house for about 1.5 months, we realised that the design was well planned eg there were sufficient table top space in the kitchen for us to work around even after placing the daily necessities. There were enough storage space for us to store our things so we can maintain a clean space. Although there are some areas that can be better planned, we are overall satisfied with the quality and workmanship that was done by Ovon design.

Our utmost heartfelt gratitude to Raymond Soh & his team (Wai Tuck, Huiwen & many more) of Ovon Design Pte Ltd for helping my family transform our 20-year old 3-bedder unit into a our dream home in a short 2-month duration. Raymond & his dedicated team listen attentively to our needs and are able to provide good and practical suggestions, solutions and designs. They have been patient, honest, responsive and reliable throughout our renovation journey. We are very impressed by their professionalism and excellent deliverables. It is definitely a smooth and happy experience for us. Special thanks to Raymond and his dedicated team!

I have engaged ID Raymond from Ovon for my new 5-room BTO renovation. I am very happy with his service . He respond promptly to my enquiries good job when we had discussion over my renovation and design ideas. He has been very service oriented. He spent time to understand our need and the issues with the existing layout and then prepared sketches of the proposed layout. I am very thankful for the good job - on time and proper handover after work completion.

Feeling lucky to have engaged with ovon and Zi An as my designer amongst many ID firms. I’m deeply impressed by the professionalism and patience of Zi An and Raymond. Zi An was extremely patient and helped with many versions of design (different styling too!). Her good taste in layout, color and many other details really helped me with making right decisions for my home. The quality of workmanship is amazing too. From Carpentry to Tile-laying, from hinge to painting, workers were of high standard and delivered well. Pricing has been competitive, big-named firms tend to overcharge but no matching service in return. Ovon gave attractive rate which was also one of the highlights amongst other merits. Overall I’m just feeling lucky!
